A bold checkered pattern of black and white squares tiles across the composition in a clean, geometric grid. The squares appear slightly skewed, creating a subtle sense of movement and depth that prevents the rigid pattern from feeling static or purely mathematical. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
